#Latest news with #currencypeggingBloomberg2 days agoBusinessBloombergWorld's Top Carry Trade Renews Debate Over Hong Kong Dollar PegAn unprecedented disconnect between Hong Kong and US interest rates is fueling the world's top-performing carry trade — and stoking a fresh debate about the long-term appeal of the city's pegged exchange rate.
